Did anyone else hear Ox on the broadcast today?

'Dennis, would you give up Pick 2 for Sandilands?'

Dennis - 'Yep.'

Would the club? I wouldn't. The guy's a monster but doesn't do enough around the grounds.

Pick a youngster.

why waste such a valuable pick for a player that will be considering retirement when we start pushing for a premiership???

Plus a bloke of that size should really dominate in the ruck and up forward more than what Sandilands does. He is a hack. Jamar pretty much beats him every time Melbourne play Freo. Give me Trengove any day of the week over Fremantle's scraps.

i really like sandilands.. but i agree with demon disciple.. why waste the pick on an older player when we are building such a young team!!

Sh!t NO

what are you doing OX?

if we can keep the russian i think he has shown enough in the past 5 weeks to be confident in him to hold down the ruckman role

There's a very good reason Dennis Commetti is a Commentator and not a List Manager.

I'd prefer to have beaten Richmond.

I'll die if the prize for all the torture that was 2008 and 2009 is Aaron Sandilands.

James Strauss was just a bonus prize we picked up along the way to the big one. 1 and 2 was always the goal in my eyes. If we waste it on Sandilands then it was all for naught.

Yeah, I still understand what you are saying, and I agree.

But I think James Strauss will deserve a mention in this conversation come the end of his career.

No thanks, Rucks are not the priority just yet, we can rookie one.

No.

Too old for our window. Spencer, Jamar and Martin as back up the keys, draft a new young tall as a rookie also to develop.

I'm still thinking Pick2 (Trengove) to Port for Pick9 (next Ziebell? maybe Cunnington) and Boak. That gets us 3 gun midfielders with Scully.

Go Demons, a nice finish to the year apart from the junk 10 mins at the end, veyr competitive when it counted, and we got very little from retirees today, all youth. Morton is a gun! Can play mid and back, forward next.......oh and Jurrah!!!!

Bring on pre season training.

Not to mention Meeson...

Your got to be joking!

Pick 1 and 2 must be locked in for Scully and Trengove. The only way Sandilands will be a Demon is via a trade since he is contracted for next year. I wouldnt be interested if Jamar sticks around. He crashed the packs beautifully today and always dishes it up to Sandilands. Spencer has shown enough to persist with.

Pick 18 should be used for a KP and not traded away either. I would be happy if we stick with our current draft picks.

Short Answer: NO.

Long Answer: F*** NO.

What was the point of this thread when nobody has tried to back up the claim, not even the OP?

He will cost too much and he's too old so no. Scully is a lock but not so sure on Trengrove. ATM he's favourite but at draft camp it could be different. Morabito is taller, stronger and quicker than Trengrove. Morabito looks like the type that could do well at draft camp.

It's a slap to Jamar who has shown huge improvement and Meesen who showed something in some of his outings this year as well. I don't reckon our rucks are anywhere near as bad as many people believe. Certyainly not bad enough to give up pick 2. Surely ox was having a jest, FCS we are building a side not making a play for a premiership.

OMG, i never looked at it that way. If that were to be the outcome, i'd...........i don't know what i would do.

I think you'll find that one Sam Blease happened to be our PP selection from last year, Strauss was our 2nd round pick.

But again, the situation Nasher throws up mortifies me (it really does)

Posted

I really think Jamar is becoming a stronger and stronger tap ruckman.

And this week and last week showed us that he has some value around the ground. Twelve months ago, he had none.

I really do hope the rumours of him wanting to leave are rubbish.

Posted

I watched the replay before and I noticed a couple of interesting observations. They labelled DB as a potentially "great" coach, us being contenders within 2 to 3 years and pick #2.

I have to say, I totally disagree with Dennis, which is unusual, because usually I go with his every word. But there is no way I'd pick Sandilands with pick 2 and suspect Dennis wouldn't either. I think he was just playing up the situation.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
